Title: Baby belly sliver osage backed with hemp cloth
Post by: snedeker on March 05, 2010, 07:57:25 pm
60" ntn, 50# at 27", 1 and 1/8 inch wide at fades.  Dry heated tip flips, Wenge tip overlays and hemp cord grip.  Heated in just a little reflex, and it settled with a bit of deflex.  Lower limb was naturally deflexed somewhat.  Thin ringed brown osage.  Lower limp has a little snakey character

Howdy Snedeker,

Well, there's not much that needs to be said about this bow - it speaks for it self; simple, fast,... Deadly. ;)

Great job!  And, thanks for sharing,

Cool bow, Dave. You've been hiding lately.

Belly has rounded, dep cross section.  I think if I had chased a ring I wouldn't have had enout osage for a bow.

Pat, I have been head down lately.  I had a heartbreaker of a project last fall, boo backed BL r/d with radical lines, broke after a long trail of problems ,all from dumb, carelessness and hurrying.  Made me grouchy
